A judge has issued a stay in the case of Adam Capay, an inmate from a Thunder Bay jail who was facing trial for the murder or another inmate, Sherman Quissess.
Capay made news after details emerged he’d been held in solitary confinement for four years awaiting trail.
Members of victim’s community expressed frustration that the surviving family will never see justice.
